Antônio José de Lemos (17 December 1843, São Luís, Maranhão – 2 October 1913, Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian politician based in the state of Pará. He was intendant of Belém from 1897 to 1911.

Lemos, along with Governor Montenegro, was responsible for the urban development of the city of Belém during the rubber cycle. His modifications and improvements to life led him to be called "the greatest municipal administrator of recent times."

Capital from the sale of rubber was important for the urban restructuring of Belém starting in 1897. It coincided with the start of the government of Antônio Lemos as intendant, or mayor, of Belém. Lemos embraced the spirit of the Republic of Brazil, promoting an aesthetic and hygienist renovation of the city. It was large based modeled on urban improvements in France, and was known as the "Belle Époque Paraense." The reforms appealed to the new elite of the rubber trade as well as presenting Belém to foreign investors as a center of finance, luxury, entertainment, and consumption. The population of Belém, however, remained poor.

Antônio Lemos' political career began in 1885 when the Liberal Party elected him provincial deputy for the 1st and 5th Districts of Pará. Lemos was elected president of the City Council of Belém in 1889. The First Brazilian Republic was proclaimed later in the same year, and Lemos swore in the first council of Pará under the new republican regime. The first council consisted of Justo Chermont, José Maria do Nascimento, and José Fernando Júnior.
